4 weeks 5 days with [name_u]Baby[/name_u] 4, due [name_u]October[/name_u] 28th, 2023! We are so excited. Can’t wait to tell the kids Time to get serious with the name lists! [name_f]Girl[/name_f] names are going to be a challenge.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] to see others in this thread soon!
I called my midwife yesterday to tell her the news and set up my 12-week appointment. We made it later rather than earlier since my other babies have always played hide-and-seek with the Doppler, ha!
Meanwhile I’m rather welcoming the fatigue and icky feeling of today, which may or may not actually have more to do with the stomach bug the whole family just survived , since it’s making the pregnancy seem more real. That good stuff has set in around 6 weeks in previous pregnancies.
5 weeks 3 days for me. Feeling very wary given our history and this is an IVF pregnancy. [name_m]Just[/name_m] praying for a good outcome. First ultrasound on the 24th, all the bloods have been great. First beta was 600, second was 2820.
7 weeks today and having some spotting and light cramping Keeping my midwife posted–she says that’s not abnormal at this point, take it easy and hopefully it resolves. [name_m]Can[/name_m] go in for an ultrasound if things get more scary. Praying my little ice carving buddy is ok
Sorry to hear you’re having some cramping and spotting.
I think if it goes on more than a couple of days I would ask for a reassurance scan.
That way you have some peace of mind. .
My congestion and night sweats are so bad that I’m having trouble sleeping. I’m only getting a couple of hours at a time, which is hard for someone who needs a lot of sleep to function. No remedies are helping and I want to cry, but that’ll it make it worse, ah… all the hormones.
So thankful for this pregnancy, just really need to figure out this whole issue.
Sad news. It is ending, I’m having painful cramping and heavy bleeding with clots. I let my midwife know, and she says to keep an eye on my temperature and get plenty of Vitamin C.
I will be bowing out of this thread Keep the light burning, @SoDallas31!
Had my scan last [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] at 7+5, baby was there and heartbeat was 157bpm. We’ve graduated from the IVF Clinic and now waiting to meet with our new nurse or ob/gyn at the local hospital. Still terrified, but trying to be hopeful.
Had to leave work and visit the Women’s Assessment Unit today, had some bleeding, they did an ultrasound and found a strong heartbeat 164bpm. They said they could see a small pocket of blood, but weren’t concerned. Not sure if its due to my medication. 8 weeks 4 days today. What a journey!
